Since 2004, this community has helped make Firefox and the open internet possible. Our “Come Back to Firefox” campaign reunites a few early internet icons to remind people what made the internet special, and why it’s worth protecting.

Feels obvious the goal of security research is not to burn projects or their users, financially or reputationally.

“our researchers” www.cyberdione.com/team lady. c’mon.

to little surprise, "Tailscale oh no no no no no" turns out to be...uh. well, you can read it yourself. this is an axe-grinding exercise that uses confident-sounding slop as camouflage.

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

In case you ever needed more evidence of how economic power inevitably consolidates into political power:

wowwww that’s not even SLIGHTLY subtle about being concentrated around the Blackest parts of the city. holy shit. there are, like, three in The Fan. we’re really not pretending huh

Not an ai apocalypse doomer or whatever, but entering a world where the normal operation of cybersecurity is vast swarms of hacker bots battling vast swarms of defender bots 24/7 at a scale beyond human comprehension doesn't seem like a *great* path forward.

i am so glad that big AI labs are committed to responsible development and safety training. sure does make me feel good about the technology

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

life is too short to have experiences. buy consumer electronics

(🚨) PROOF has the details on the Treason scandal rocking the midterms. Everything you feared re: Trump/Israel appears to be true. Click the red button at the link to get a free trial to PROOF you can cancel after reading this if you like (though you won’t want to miss the coverage PROOF has coming).

Musk, Zuckerberg, Pichai, Amodei, Brockman and Huang signed Trump’s "AI accord" requiring outside oversight. Three helped write the "self-regulation" rules and are building the body that would set standards for and certify the auditors policing them.

waking up every day in 2026 like:

Agreed. There are so many evil people in the world who continue to do harm without recognizing an ounce of wrongdoing, but someone confronts their allegations with remorse and we push them out? So what, we're all perfect? If forgiveness isn't acceptable at acknowledgement, then we're never healing.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

At some point a people On Here adopted the position native to the post-CRM right that you could say astoundingly bigoted shit but as long as it didn’t have a Forbidden Word Of Power attached to it it was not only not bigotry but anyone cottoning on and condemning your bigotry was the REAL bigot

Out of curiosity, which is prettier: Athena, Aphrodite or Hera? I've got some fruit to sweeten the deal if that helps.

Send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

I don’t wanna hear SHIT about woke run amok when protesting genocide gets you banned from campus and sexual assault gets you an apology letter.

DraftKings has argued that its ‘responsible gaming’ system provides adequate safeguards to protect customers from spiraling out of control. So I decided to find out: If I bet like a compulsive gambler, would DraftKings stop me? by Jake Pearson

pro tip: doing this makes you seem like a heterodox freethinking sigma and your bros will appoint you pack leader

The correct amount of regulation is not zero. You can demand regulation that applies specifically to big labs, slowing them but not open models, if regulatory capture is the concern.

A great illustration of the way social media has essentially shredded society’s informational immune system: The USSR spent a fortune trying to spread conspiracy theories, without success because they couldn’t crack newsrooms. Today, you can reach the globe with a post that costs $20 to make.

In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such.

I am talking about working with people to even conceive of their lives as a set of tasks — that isn’t exactly natural and isn’t something we train people to do and yet its a precondition for figuring out what an agent would even *do*.

I participated in some public library ai courses. I’m telling you that the state of literacies and the complexity of lives deeply enmeshed in the bowels of late stage capitalism cannot find a use case for an agent & if they could, people don’t have the scaffolding to imagine one that could be useful

My favorite part of this story—which calls into question whether or not a paper can objectively cover a mega-corporation it is partnered with—is how a rep from Meta contact one the journalists of this piece several times to request that they include favorable coverage of Meta.

Isn't it nice when there's something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheUnredactedEPSTEIN-Files

Yes, Slutcon is real. And while there’s nothing wrong with this kind of event in perfect isolation, in the context of “women in Silicon Valley tech are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend,” it becomes very gross. (BTW, Gretta is Eliezer Yudkowsky’s partner). slutcon.com

"Why should Canadians trust Americans who have twice elected someone they consider a venal, dangerous buffoon? They could excuse them for being 'tricked' the first time. But electing him again, by a bigger margin the second time, tells them all they need to know." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

and we need to reject it louder and harder than ever

NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

good thing we are a very strategically minded group who will exploit this to end a decade-long trans panic instead of actively self-sabotaging the best shot we've had since it started.... haha....heh..... aha.. heheheee........

I could never claim to have a fraction of the trauma of the women actually forced to be in prisons, but even just researching and writing on a few of the cases really broke me because of how horrific this shit really is, and how cruel and inhumane these prisons really are

don't fucking do prison rape apologia in my mentions this shit isn't up for debate and I consider you the enemy if you can't overlook partisan biases to see how wretched these politicians are. Maryland does the same thing and Kamala Harris spent years fighting trans women in court.

pretty disgusted with how I've had multiple queer people (who aren't trans women) come into my mentions and use mental gymnastics for some justification for appealing the original "house trans women with women by default" ruling just because the AG is a Democrat and surely he meant well. he didn't.

"The goal of a technofascist regime is to replace reporting with sycophancy and silence. The only guaranteed way to do that is to eliminate people." @sarahkendzior.bsky.social as always has me nodding my head & shaking my head in equal measure, not only great journalism but also beautiful writing.

Nothing will ever be enough for these people.

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

Google is requiring all Android developers to register centrally, pay a fee, and submit government ID. Apps from unregistered developers will be silently blocked. over 65 organizations oppose this. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social keepandroidopen.org

listen i know ur gonna exhale loudly when i say this but it bears repeating: "SHE WOULD NOT BE HELD TO THIS MUCH SCRUTINY IF SHE WASN'T A TRANS WOMAN!"

Read about TESCREAL-ism, it will help you understand so much about the ideologies about the tech fascists taking over society dair-institute.org/projects/tes...

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
